Punters Strike

[OLD SNAKE]

During Covid the shops where closed, most of the girls left the country, and we where literally left standing with our own dicks in our hands,
but it proved one thing we didn't need the MLs/WLs, we just wanted them,
Now with everything back to normal except for the extraordinary prices, these added costs for Gold and Diamond services, for a service that was considered standard pre covid.
They know they can get away with it, because we allow it, and if we let it continue the Standard Price will become the Diamond prices by the end of the year,
So what can we do about it,
1st of we can go on strike and save our money and stop using their services like covid, than use that money to go on holidays to Pattaya, where the Girls will appreciate us,
2nd if you do need to punt only take enough money to pay for the standard service and let the management know they are charging too much

A lot of us thought paying $250 an hour for a private escort in her own apartment was too much, but its looking very attractive right now compared to a shop that only has average girls working for them and an over used mattress with just a sheet on it.
what are you thoughts on ways we can start taking control of the market and can we cause a price crash.

They were doing good business even during COVID.

I know because I was one of the frequent customers, lol!

Old Snake you sound upset. What specifically don't you like about the current market situation in the punting industry? Isn't this just supply and demand

I never got on this Diamond price bandwagon. I'm my mind a lady has to have a good track record before I pay to see her
Forget $300-350
Anyone charging $240+ have to be recommended to me first

Far far too much fun from Sub $250 punts to bother with poor service and overcharging, from people metaphorically selling flat beer and telling you that it's Peroni. There are literally countless shops in Sydney to choose from and no time to waste spending on subpar service

There's an AR on here about a lady charging high rates who was described as inexperienced. That was code for not wanting to do the work adequately (it's not easy work) and not sure if she will ever want to. And charging top price for a subpar session. That is definitely not fair. And management not able to mention previous good feedback. For $280! Wtf
Even keeping her on the roster is doing a disservice to all parties

Managers, when you have a
regular polite customer who asks you who is worth seeing, only recommend WL with good feedback. Leave the poor service WLs to the unsuspecting novice punter off the streets. Please
Any shop that tolerates poor service at high Diamond prices will lead me to AVOID.

$300-350 for a punt? For that price, please provide attentive service - including shower with customer, and regal treatment (customer is paying for it)
You all know what that feels like, feels like you have met a long lost lover again
Or provide a 10/10 stunner who knows how to pleasure a man (this is often the exception nor the rule with WLs).
If you cant provide top shelf staff or great service for that cost, then Diamond price would have to include champagne and a harbour view.

Old Snake, is it true that the majority of punters aren't on punting forums, they are everyday folk visiting for recreation. How much activism can you actually achieve?

Or are you tongue in cheek?

Old Snake, continue your grass root activism in your punting. Only see WLs that have good feedback from AR or management
Don't just turn up. Text the manager beforehand to see if it's worth the travel. Tell management what your requirements are. Just like any other service you pay $200-350/hour for
If the manager is unable to give you a good recommendation on the phone or text, then don't visit. Just like you don't go to a mechanic that doesn't look after your brand of car. Go elsewhere

Yes, you can take your “we” band to do anything you want, if you have a “we” band, strike or whatever, but if you think you can change anything with this post, you’re a dreamer.

[paulgallen]

Oldsnake can do quiet quitting on the punting front if not happy about it.

[dotcumdotinyou]

Good luck old snake, but it ain't gonna happen.

Just take yourself to the suburbs and hit the $150 - $200 shops, experienced milfs are heaps better than $300 newbies.

[l337dude]

I have a feeling only a very small percentage of punters actually go on punting forums like this...or at least not regulars here, but yea I get your frustration, it is what it is...

[punther]

Actually thought about this lastnight. Punter's strike is a great idea, and it's just that, an 'idea'. None of us would actually abstain from it

[Double_Adapter]

The third world part of me is thinking what the fuck!
But the first world half of me is thinking why hasn't somebody put this on the list of first world problems?

I'm thinking of a different petition to the Federal government
Limit the new immigration program to single women, no kids, aged 20-35

250 000 new migrants every year to a congested Sydney and Melbourne you say?
No problems, we've got this

Make it 300 000

I know because I was one of the frequent customers, lol!

At least one shop in North Shore opened its backdoor for business for selected loyal regular clients.

Two girls who worked in an inner city parlour operated from their apartment to private clients during Covid.

I did not go for it as God created Covid for punters to learn abstinence and fasting from sex.

I took the opportunity to meditate and chant and hit the singing bell all days.

I came out of it purer than white lotus flower. :)

There should be a punter's union .... and a punter's electoral enrolled party!

[OLD SNAKE]

i made this post to get a point of view across, that its not ok too price gouge like Woolworths and Coles, (yes i do shop at Aldi,) especially for a girl that provides standard service and has standard looks,
i have been to many different shops and when told the price, its normally a lot higher than what is advertise on their website and the look on their faces when you start walking out tells you she just wants more money than anything else,
so remember this, Cash is King, we have the cash so we should act and be treated like kings, not like an over taxed peasant at the mercy of a used pussy

I 100% agree with all of this. Been a punter since the late 90’s and punting in Sydney since 2008.
I’ve never seen anything remotely to the current scene we have on our hands. Fuck that for a joke.

Last Wednesday I visited 5 whorehouses and met around 10 WL’s only to walk out each time. The quality was the worst I’ve seen and seriously I’d pass on some if they offered to pay me.

One WL tried to push her platinum service and then threw a fit when I told her it’s my rule to try anyone new in Standard service first before considering a higher tier.

Some of these ladies have clearly forgotten their rules on how to treat a man like a king.

Buddy of mine from the US stopped punting in Australia already cos he gets far better quality going on frequent short trips to Vietnam. Certainly for anyone with this option it’s a viable solution to the current punting chrisis facing us all in this country.

if you think about it, score a cheap flight to asia, hotels are cheaper and go punt crazy for a week .... $2500AUD goes a long wayyyyyy in Asia

[ReginaldBubbles]

Unions are for workers not customers. I believe that what old mate has proposed is more of a boycott than a strike.

Gonna get flamed here .... but its arguable that unions are for workers ....

It’s a no brainer really. Bamboo Airways return to HCM for 500 bucks. Hotels near Bui Vien are a dime a dozen. I used to pay around 40 USD per night but there’s cheaper. Girls I would pick up from the bars, all between 20-25 yo beautiful, fresh and sweet, 100 USD per night. Food and booze and dirt cheap, say 50 USD per day. And if you want some extras to party it’s all deliverable to your hotel.

Last time I was there was for 2 weeks and I probably spent all up 2.5-3 grant AUD and lived like King Shit.

Does one need to speak Vietnamese to get around in HCM, or you should be okay to get by in English?

[Raybo]

Inflation has hit absolutely everything lately, why wouldn't punting be the same? All those working in the industry are faced with the same cost of living hikes.

[warwick1]

Exactly, there is no recommended retail or price cap,if you don't like it walk away,more important things to worry about........

[paulgallen]

One area hasn't increased is Western WL at 42. Most has not changed from $170 half an hour. Lack of demand for their no dfk bbbj and standard everything??

[GoldfishMan]

Lol going on strike... does the shop employ you?,
How is it price gouging when $250 is on the cheaper side when look at average pricing?

Not excusing the poor quality of service you recieved but i really think this is some feedback you should of provided management or even ask for a change of girls when the session wasnt looking too promising.

Just a wrong choice of word. He should’ve said boycott instead. We all got the meaning anyway.

I don’t think it’s going to work anyway. We can’t even control the mob on this forum, let alone the general punting public.

No bro, not a word. Everyone knows enough basic English to accomodate you. And if they don’t, they know what you want hehe. It’s easier than getting your dick wet in a brothel over there. Viet women are beautiful.

[11Bravo]

I've heard this same idea postulated in any number of forums/climes. Along with visitors ruining it for residents. You just have to rely on market forces. When the prices reach a high enough level, they will be unsustainable, and will drop back to market level. But everywhere, prices tend to rise over the years. It all comes down to what it's WORTH to YOU that DAY.

But I do dislike all this standard/gold/diamond bs. That's the brothels. When they find that customers are going elsewhere, no organization needed, they'll change (or close). And it's why I take the majority of my business to ML's, not WL's. There, you pay a standard fee to the shop for the massage, then the extras are negotiated DIRECTLY with the ML. Granted, it's basically 50/50/50 for parts 2/2.5/3, but at least at the third level, there is room for maneuver. And you get a massage...

Well said i agree 100% ! the prices have been going up and the services going down. Less customers will force them to lower there prices.

No problems, we've got this

Make it 300 000

We are being told there is a housing crisis and it appears to be the case when you check listings for sales and rent in Sydney. Bringing in more migrants will just make the problem worse when our federal and state governments have no solution to the current housing crisis.

[refokkused]

I think the good old days when sub-letting was allowed are gone too ... I recall seeing 8+ students living together in a city apartment was quite normal.

The intriguing and fascinating thing about this forum is that it self-corrects and self-regulates. There's always an argument to be had, shit gets flung freely and in every direction, there's name calling, racial slurs, old wounds get re-opened, there's witch-hunts, public floggings and stoning of mongers .....and then it miraculously simmers down, and the thread returns to a balanced inert state. A new comment is posted sparking a chain reaction, a massive argument ensues and the cycle repeats itself.
The alchemy is fucking amazing and enigmatic! And there's no other forum like it.

[frisson]

Well said sir
Just don't post misinfo about sexually transmitted diseases on here lol
